⚲ : Sydney Harbour.

Nodding thoughtfully, I bluffed my way.

I met these two young men on the ferry into the city today. They were carrying a couple of fishing rods, an overstuffed Transformers backpack and a large white plastic bucket of expectations.

Although we stood next to each other on the back deck for the entire trip, I didn’t much speak to them.

On my trip back, they were there again. This time I asked them if they had any luck. One of the boys pulled out his iPhone, and pointing at the bucket, proudly showed me some photos of a large (it was photographed next to a tape measure) stripy fish.

I nodded thoughtfully and hummed with my impressedness.

An old dude of my obvious worldliness must assuredly know what type of fish that is and recognise the upper size percentile for its species.

I was clueless. I bluffed my way.
